Abstract
The metaphor of the body as machine has helped generations of students make sense of the intricacies of human anatomy and physiology. This program,a complete update of the classic documentary by the same name, which in 1975 nearly won an Academy Award—covers topics ranging from the function of major systems, to the interplay between brain and body, to the operation of the senses. In addition, the program is punctuated with human dramas of restored sight, of Nobel prize-winning research, and of removing a cancerous brain tumor to humanize and further dramatize the science. Stunning footage and first-rate storytelling.
